NOTICE TO USERS
RABBIT SEMICONDUCTOR PRODUCTS ARE NOT AUTHORIZED FOR USE AS
CRITICAL COMPONENTS IN LIFE-SUPPORT DEVICES OR SYSTEMS UNLESS A
SPECIFIC WRITTEN AGREEMENT REGARDING SUCH INTENDED USE IS
ENTERED INTO BETWEEN THE CUSTOMER AND RABBIT SEMICONDUCTOR
PRIOR TO USE. Life-support devices or systems are devices or systems intended for sur-
gical implantation into the body or to sustain life, and whose failure to perform, when
properly used in accordance with instructions for use provided in the labeling and user’s
manual, can be reasonably expected to result in significant injury.
No complex software or hardware system is perfect. Bugs are always present in a system
of any size. In order to prevent danger to life or property, it is the responsibility of the sys-
tem designer to incorporate redundant protective mechanisms appropriate to the risk
involved.
